Liam Jones, 22, from East Vines, Sunderland, was given an 18-month conditional discharge after he admitted causing racially aggravated harassment, alarm or distress while watching his team Sunderland AFC lose at home to West Bromich Albion at the Stadium of Light in November 2012.
He was arrested 24 hours after the Sunderland Echo printed a photograph of him making the gesture at Romelu Lukaku when the Belgian striker scored for West Brom at the Stadium of Light.
Originally he told reporters he was doing the chicken dance.
Jones was also banned from attending Premiership games for three years.
